More than a year ago, Sony announced a partnership with Korean company NCSOFT that would have resulted in an expansion beyond consoles to reach new audiences on PC and mobile devices. Since the announcement, it has been speculated that NCSOFT was working with PlayStation on a big MMO game in the sci-fi Horizon universe for PC, PlayStation 5 and mobile platforms, as developer profiles have pointed out. However, it seems that nothing will come of the Horizon MMO as NCSOFT is in a difficult period and has had to cancel several of its big games in development.
Back in the fall of last year, the development of the action game Project M and the multiplayer action game BATTLE CRUSH were halted, followed by major layoffs, and late last year, the game with the working title Project H/Project Skyline which was supposed to be the MMO Horizon was cancelled. The information came from Korean magazine MTN. The game was subsequently removed from NCSOFT’s plans, which only confirms the news. It should be mentioned that MMO Horizon has nothing to do with the cooperative action game Horizon, which is being developed by Guerrilla Games studio. The latter is still in development, according to the latest information, and we may see its unveiling soon.
